This fascimile edition reproduces the text from the only complete copy of the title page and text to which has been added the frontispiece as conceived by Blake. The Book of Ahania is one of the English poet William Blake's prophetic books. It was published in 1795, illustrated by Blake's own plates. The poem of the book consists of six chapters. The content concerns Fuzon, a son of Urizen, a Zoa or major aspect in Blake's mythology. Ahania of the title is Urizen's female counterpart. William Blake was a poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver. During his life the prophetic message of his writings were understood by few and misunderstood by many. However Blake is now widely admired for his soulful originality and lofty imagination. The poetry of William Blake is far reaching in its scope and range of experience. The poems of William Blake can offer a profound symbolism and also a delightful childlike innocence.

From the preface: "A great deal of material towards the history of English Medieval Painting has now for some time been accumulating. There still remains to be composed a work, dealing exhaustively with all the aspects of this subject: but meanwhile, a review of some of the results achieved appears desirable, and we have therefore gladly complied with the invitation of the Publishers to make the facts contained in this volume internationally accessible. It may be hoped that the material here published and briefly commented upon, may, apart from its interest in itself, also be of some use in determining the question of the influence exercised abroad by the English School of Painting during the Middle Ages. A large proportion of our reproductions are from water colours made during a long period of years by one of the present writers and now mostly in the possession of the Victoria and Albert Museum." A series of excellent collotype plates illustrates all the mediaeval panel paintings of England which have come down to us, as well as numerous frescoes which have since been unhappily destroyed.

George Augustus Moore (1852 - 1933) was an Irish novelist, short-story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist. Moore came from a Roman Catholic landed family who lived at Moore Hall in Carra, County Mayo. He originally wanted to be a painter, and studied art in Paris during the 1870s. There, he befriended many of the leading French artists and writers of the day. As a naturalistic writer, he was amongst the first English-language authors to absorb the lessons of the French realists, and was particularly influenced by the works of Émile Zola. His writings influenced James Joyce, according to the literary critic and biographer Richard Ellmann. He is as often regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist.
